About Me

Just as most kids I loved to play outside and explore the outdoors,  I was always an athletic guy who stayed active and loved to spend time playing sports.  From the age of seven years old I was participating in team athletics.  Pursuing football and track throughout high school as well as college I managed to stay in what most would call average shape.  After graduating and receiving my B.S degree in psychology I hit the workforce.  Like most individuals my physical activity decreased, and so did my muscle mass.  A few years went by but still no change in my habits.  I knew I was gaining weight because my clothes began to fit a lot differently.  There were times were I would literally try on my whole closet before I could make a decision about what to wear.  I was feeling very uncomfortable in my own skin and had gotten up to 220lbs.  This is when I decided to try p90x which I must say is a really good workout program.  After finishing the program two times through, and gaining confidence I decided I wanted more and that this was about a lifestyle change that I had to make.  After a year of hard work and dedication I lost 40 pounds of fat and gained around 20 pounds of muscle.  I now weigh 185lbs.  I can honestly say Ive fallen in love with fitness and nothing gives me a better feeling then spreading the word and helping others.
